[h2]Dr. Facilier--Castle Tepes[/h2]

Dr. Facilier looked around. "Hey, where did everybody go?" the bokur wondered.

He had missed the whole ice-moon thing.

Facilier rapped on the door himself, waiting for an answer. "Anybody home?" he asked.

[h2]Morgan--Public Library[/h2]

"...So you're saying that I was pulled out of my own universe and into the multiverse in which all variations of realities coexist with one another?" Hanratty asked.

"That's the long and short of it, I suppose," Morgan replied.

"I have to admit, I find that a little hard to believe," Hanratty remarked.

"Well, it happened to me, too, when I first left my home universe," Morgan said. "You know, the day I got pulled into the multiverse wasn't the first time I had crossed the threshold of space and time."

"Really, now?" Hanratty asked. "Do tell."

Morgan told Hanratty about the Ruins of Time and the coming of the Ylissean guard. She told Hanratty about her father Robin and how she had no memories of him.

"You don't remember your father?" Hanratty asked. "Gee, must be a pretty sorry existence..."

"It's all right," Morgan said, shrugging. "At least I was able to spend time with him until... you know." Morgan gestured out the library window. "So where are you from?"

"Where I'm from," Hanratty explained, "people burst into song in key moments of passion and emotion, as if our lives were on some sort of musical theatre. In fact, one of my partners at the F.B.I., a former master of check fraud, put on a show for the people at the Miami Airport about his life."

"Sounds like an interesting way to live," Morgan commented, leaning back on her chair and crossing her legs.
